I've always found a questionable lag between discovery and accessibility especially with science and technology. And yet, on the user side, I find it hard to keep up with the change. It would help if there was less that becomes obsolete in the process and more that allowed us to use what we have in different ways. More reuse and recycle, less trashing of old. Of course, this would require us to put better products on the market to begin with, ones that could stand the test of time.
I think the Internet has endless possibility, and dross shows up in direct proportion to the dross of humanity, which in my opinion is considerable. And yet, I "know" all of you and can honestly say that this has improved the quality of my life considerably in ways I cannot define or measure. 20 years ago we did not have the ability to easily, and with a computer, find information on how to repair anything in our homes, and I mean anything. What product specs can't tell us, instructional video and discussion groups can. There are a couple of sincere enough guys who take the time to create little videos on how to repair and remodel MGs and it is actually good info! For me, I have created through the Internet, a network of writers, publishers and artists from all over the world that I could never have physically created in my local area. It has been a real privilege to watch their work and ideas evolve over time and converse with them in various ways including sharing each others work in our publications.
